The Portageville Park Board is beginning a youth soccer program this fall. This new program will initially be offered for current kindergarten and first-grade students, with a view to expand the program next year. Both boys and girls are invited to participate.
The registration fee is $25 per player. Included in this fee are team shirts and socks. In addition to these items, each player will need to furnish the following:
*Shin Guards (required; for safety, shin guards must be fully covered by socks)
*Athletic Shoes or Cleats (rubber baseball cleats may be worn, provided the toe cleat is cut off)
*Athletic shorts
*Size 3 soccer ball (recommended, but not required)
Practices will begin the week of September 14. Games will be played on Saturday mornings and one evening per week beginning September 27. The season will conclude on October 25. Each team will play an 8-9 game schedule.
Player registration forms were sent home to parents through the local schools. If your child would like to participate, return the completed form and $25 registration fee to the school office by Monday, September 8. Make checks payable to Portageville Park Board.
Those seeking further information about this program or who are willing to coach or assist in some way should contact Todd Higgs at 391-0727 or thiggs@livingstonebaptist.org.
